Twin Turbo Pickup Wars: EcoBoost vs. I-Force

[Snakebitten]

Recall ≠ Truck broken

Ford F150 has recall
Toyota Tundra has recall

Both might be trouble free for many years of ownership.

People buy Toyota trucks to have the most reliable vehicles being made. Everything else is secondary when making the purchase decision. I have owned four 4WD Toyota pickups and gone everywhere that friends have gone with the CJ5 and CJ7 Jeeps. After putting more than 170,000 miles on each of these trucks I sold them and at that time everything in the truck worked perfectly. No gear box whine or play in the steering and no issues with any of the electronics.

I cannot say the same for my Ford and Chevy and Ram/Dodge pickups. Even my 2022 F-150 already has 3 recall notices and is not safe to drive in the rain with the wiper motor that can fail without warning, and the emergency brakes may activate with no warning.

I bought the F-150 to get the utility package with the rear pop-out step and grab bar. The Tundra has the worst setup for getting up and back down from the bed of the truck of any of the manufacturers and as someone who actually uses his truck as a truck this was very important.

Are you claiming you bought 4 Toyota pickups and never once had a recall? 170,000 miles X 4 over many years and Zero recalls? What year and models were they? My credulity done strained a ligament.
